I've just spent a few days in the Swiss Alps, skiing, and I didn't take anything with me to sew or make. But it was a nice surprise to see that my sister in law had brought her handwork with her. She's made some progress since last time I saw it and it looks wonderful!

Take a look at the Uppercase blog post by Janine Vangool, about the Australian Tapestry Workshop. The pictures and colors are marvelous.

I have some reservation about the tapestry "method" in itself, which consist in copying a painting from an artist with wool, or rather "translate" it, as they say. Especially, when in the video, they explain that they take 6 months to weave an aboriginal painting into a tapestry, I don't quite understand. The original painting is fine with me. But... This conversation has being going on for a long time... Enjoy the pictures and the expertise of the weavers...
